['0 aZZ'rMwmi/"mag concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLES ATHEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paris, in the county of. Edgar and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Heating Stove, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a heating stove one of its objects being to provide a stove which has means whereby heat can be radiated both outwardly and inwardly, the inwardly radiating heat serving to raise the temperature of a current of fresh air flowing through the stove from the bottom to the top thereof while the outwardly radiating heat will raise the temperature of the air surrounding the stove.

Another object is to provide a stove of this character having practically twice the efiioiency of the usual type of drum heaters using gas or oil as a fuel, the construction of the stove being simple and durable.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter des scribed and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown. 1

In said drawings Figure 1 is a view partly in front elevation and partly in section of the stove.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2--2, Figure 1. i

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates the hollow base of the stove which can be supported on suitable legs 2 and is provided with a desired number of air inlet openings 3. A burner in dicated generally at 4 is mounted within this hollow base and access thereto may be had by opening a door 5 in the base. A fuel pipe 6 can be extended to the burner and this burner canloe of a type for use with either gas or liquid fuel.

Mounted on the base 1 is a drum 7 the bottom of which opens into the base while formed in the top of the wall of the drum are outlet openings 8. A ring 9 extends outwardly from and rests on the drum and is preferably downturn ed to form an apron 10 which serves to conceal the openings 8.

, Supported within the drum 7 is an inner.- radiator 11 preferably cylindrical and having its open upper end fiared outwardly at 12 and resting on the upper edge of the drum. Thisinner radiator is spaced from the drum and has its lower end rounded as shown at 13 and supported close to the open lower end of the drum 7. This rounded end is directly above the burner 4 and constitutes a heat spreader. Air con ducting lines 14 extend through-the base 1 and are open attheir ends, the upper ends of these fiues opening into the bottom portion of the inner radiator while the lower ends of the fines open through the bottom of the base 1.

A dome shaped cover 15 is mounted on the ring 9 and has openings 16 therein through which heated air can flow freely.

The drum 7 may be suitably ornamented, as by means of an annular flange 17 and an imitation door 18. i

The burner a is preferably of a type which will produce almost complete combustion of the fuel so that fumes ofan objectionable nature will not be discharged into the surrounding atmosphere. When the fuel is ignited at the burner the lower spreading portion of the inner radiator will be heated to a high temperature and the hot products of combustion together with the air that has passed into the base through the openings 3 and has been heated, will flow upwardly through the space between the drum 7 and the inner radiator and thence outwardly through the openings 8. Thus both the drum and inner radiator will be heated to a high temperature and the heat radiating outwardly from thedrum 7 will raise the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere while the heat radiating inwardly from the radiator 11 will raisethe temperature of the air within the stove-thereby setting up a current through the fines 14C and the radiator 11 to the outlet openings 16. Obviously as a result of this arrangement the efficiency of the stove as a heating medium will be greatly increased because of the increased size of the heat radiating area without an increase in the amount of fuel used.

The stove can be made very attractive so as not to present an unsightly appearance when used in a room.

What is claimed-is:- A heating stove comprlslng a hollow base, a burner mounted therein, a drumimounted on and communicating at its lower end with the base, an inner radiator having an outturned upper end bearing downwardly on the drum and supporting the radiator concentrically within and spaced from the drum,

said radiator having a semispherieal lower end, said end constituting a heat spreader, the lowermost portion of said end being supported above and close to the burner, and

' upwardly oonverging air conducting lines opening through the bottom'ot the base and throughthe bottom of the radiator at points remote from the center thereof, said burner being located between the fiues, and a cover mounted on the radiator and having apertures therein, there being vents Within the
